Waterpark admissions shouldn't drain the revenue pool.
Seasonal waterparks sell thousands of admissions per day during peak months. Per-ticket platform fees at that volume are one of the largest controllable costs in the business. Equaticket charges a flat monthly subscription: the same rate in peak July as in slow September.

The problem
High-volume seasonal admissions are where flat pricing wins biggest
A waterpark selling 6,000 admissions per month in-season at $32 average is looking at ~$23,929 in Eventbrite fees every month, $143,000 or more over a six-month season. TicketSpice at $0.99/ticket still adds up to nearly $36,000 for the season.
Per-admission fees scale directly with your busiest days. Equaticket's flat subscription means your ticketing cost is the same on your record attendance day as on a rainy Tuesday. One predictable line item, regardless of how many slides you're running.
How it works
How Equaticket works for waterparks
Timed-entry booking by date.
Sell admissions by date or time window with capacity per slot. Guests pick their day at checkout. When capacity is reached, the slot closes, no overcrowding, no surprise sellouts at the gate.
Multiple admission types.
Adult, child, senior, cabana upgrade, season pass holder discounted re-entry: set up every admission type with individual pricing. No per-type platform fees from Equaticket.
Season pass access codes.
Issue pass holders an access code that unlocks discounted or complimentary admission throughout the season. No per-redemption fees.
Embed on your park website.
Keep advance ticket sales on your park's own website. The Equaticket embed widget handles date selection and checkout without redirecting guests to a third-party marketplace.
Real-time gate check-in.
QR scanning with multi-device sync at all entry points. Staff see live capacity numbers in real time across every entrance simultaneously.
Platform comparison
The math
A waterpark selling 6,000 admissions/month at $32 avg in-season:
| Platform | Monthly platform fees |
|---|---|
| Eventbrite (~12%) | ~$23,929/mo |
| TicketSpice ($0.99/ticket) | ~$5,940/mo |
| Equaticket Pro | $189/mo |
$23,700 a month is staffing, maintenance, and capital improvements, not ticketing.
